Highly Suspect Reviews: The Huntsman: Winter’s War

Chris Hemsworth returns in this prequel/sequel (yeah, it kinda wraps around) to Snow White and the Huntsman. This time we get to see where the Huntsman came from and why he’s so badass, get introduced to his lady love who may be even more badass that he is (Jessica Chastain) and watch everyone involved get pounded by Emily Blunt as Charlize Theron’s ice-powered cold-hearted sister. But, of course, Charlize shows up to chew some scenery too. All this and more dwarves, of course. But is it any good? Chris, Sarah, Herman and JC tell you like it is.

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free, by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal”, turned into a full time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.
